About this property

A get away by the sea

Passengers little house is a perfectly formed little bit of luxury, full of character, where you are welcomed by a double height ceiling, oak floor and luxurious carpet on the mezzanine which over looks the living space. On the outside fronted with black boarding for a Kent barn look. Passenger is an ideal holiday pad with spectacular views of the seafront only a 2 minute walk away . A perfect romantic get away, friends sharing and ideal for the lone traveller as very safe. There is the option of a pull down sofa bed. The living area is a well thought out double height space with hanging pendant lights, comfortable seating and a wall mounted remote controlled T.V with the option of Netflicks. A kitchenette which will meet all your needs, with the very important cafeteria, toaster, good size fridge and freezer, microwave and plug in hob. The bathroom is of a high spec, you are met with a glass and tiled walk in shower, vintage cabinet holding the sink above which you will find a touch free light sensor on the mirror for added luxury. A small flight of stairs leads to the bedroom mezzanine area, carpeted for a luxurious and cosy feel, here you will find a kingsize bed
We have lived here for over 10 years now making the move from London. Views from Tankerton slopes have never disappointed all weathers and seasons its a very special arena to see so far out to the sea and sky. This is a seafront without crowds, often you can spend the whole day with what seems like your own private piece of beach in-between the groynes which go out to sea at regular intervals. Prior to moving I worked in Museums, my partner and are have both studied at Art school, I think we have an eye for detail and was very clear that we wanted the space to be uncluttered, comfortable whist keeping luxury and style, with a double height ceiling, the texture of brickwork and oak flooring we are very happy with the results. I take hosting very seriously I spend a lot of time making sure everything is at its best. I am fastidious about the cleanliness and really enjoy putting in little extras. I take pride that you have chosen to spend your precious holiday time at Passenger and I want to make sure all is perfect. We are only next door if you needed anything but often only greet and say farewell to guests as it's easy just to get straight into having a holiday once you've arrived
We are located on one of the beautiful wide roads in Tankerton that leads directly down to the seafront, as you come out of the house you can see the slopes and sea beyond. Parking is not a problem it is not a busy road with parking along one side. Whitstable train station is 10 minuets walk away, if you are arriving by train please ask it may be possible for me to pick you up so you can get your holiday started quicker.Tankerton is a hidden gem, open and spacious with easy parking and a large green expanse, 'The slopes', where you get the greatest views of the seafront unlike the centre of Whitstable This is a sea front without crowds often you can spend the day with what seems like your own private piece of beach in-between the groynes that go out to sea at regular intervals. Jojo's an award winning tapas restaurant is located on the slopes with sea views, a great place for lunch or dinner. Whitstable centre is a 15 minute walk along the front where the crowds await. Whitstable is packed with amazing restaurants and independent boutiques. You can catch the bus if you prefer which is at the end of the road also Tesco's, many take aways, a micro brewery pub The Tankerton Arms.

We absolutely loved our stay, the property is beautifully decorated, well thought out and immaculate. There is off street parking and all the amenities you’d need near by. Don’t think I’ve ever had such a comfortable sleep away from home! Amanda was a fantastic host, nothing was too much bother and just knowing she was on hand if we needed her was great…not that we did as everything was perfect for us! We will definitely be back ☺️

About the host

Hosted by Amanda

Host profile image
Alex and I or both have a degree in Fine Art and I an M.A from the Royal college of Art, we both have creative jobs which we juggle and our three children. We moved from Brick lane in East London. We love the house and location its perfect for access and calm family life.

Why they chose this property

We managed to get a largish house and with a big renovation we built Passengers little house on the side. It took us a long time to realise the design for a unique, open and airy space, packed with character and comfort.

What makes this property unique

A lovely well designed high spec space close to a very special seafront where you just will not experience the kind of crowds you might elsewhere.
